La Source Beer Co.

This vibrant Orange Gruit is a focused celebration of citrus, masterfully layering Blood Orange, Orange Zest, and Orange Blossoms. The sensory experience opens with an intense aromatic perfume of floral blossoms and the sharp, volatile oils of fresh zest. On the palate, the Blood Orange delivers a succulent, slightly tangy fruit character that integrates seamlessly with a bready malt foundation. As a Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer, the lack of hops highlights a soft, herbal gruit bitterness. This results in a bright, multifaceted profile that finishes clean with a refreshing, zesty snap and a lingering botanical elegance.

Appearance. Deep golden to pale orange-amber (7-11 SRM) with a slight haze. Features a moderate, off-white head with fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh citrus; dominant notes of sweet orange zest and the perfume-like floral character of orange blossoms. Substantial fruit esters reminiscent of juicy blood orange with a clean, bready malt background and no hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of zesty citrus oil and tangy fruit. Malt flavor is moderate and crackery, providing a base for the blood orange and floral blossom layers. Bitterness is low and herbal, derived from the gruit botanicals rather than hops. Finishes off-dry and crisp with a lingering citrus brightness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Smooth texture with a light acidic tang from the fruit. No perceptible alcohol warmth or harsh astringency.
